Starting with 1896 he edited exsiccata series, among them ''Kryptogamae exsiccatae editae a Museo Palatino Vindobonensi'', first together with Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau, and organised the exchange of specimens. From 1918 until his retirement in 1922, he was director of the museum's botany department. From 1920, he was member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences In retirement, he continued his studies in the field of lichenology.
In 1905 he served as general secretary of the International Botanical Congress, held in Vienna. Zahlbruckner is known for publication of ''Catalogus lichenum universalis'', a catalog of all published names of lichens, issued in ten volumes from 1922 up until 1940. He also published regional works on lichen-forming fungi of central Africa, South America, China, Easter Island, Juan Fernández Islands, Dalmatia, Formosa, Japan, Java and Samoa.
In 1910, botanist Albert William Herre published the fungal genus ''Zahlbrucknera'' (later ''Zahlbrucknerella'') in Zahlbruckner's honour.
